FULL SIBLINGS WIN CONSECUTIVE RACES

EAST BOSTON, MA - Full siblings Mount Wilton and East Coaster won consecutive races at Suffolk Downs on Wednesday. Both horses are by Graeme Hall out of the Our Emblem mare Eastlynne and were bred in Florida by Eugene Melnyk.

In the sixth race, Mount Wilton earned his first local victory with a two-and-three-quarter length triumph. Ridden by Carlos Quinones and trained by John Rigattieri, the five-year-old gelding returned $9.80, 4.80 and 3.80.


East Coaster followed that up in the seventh race with a two-length score under Yamil Rosario. It was the four-year-old filly's seventh local victory for New England Hall of Fame trainer George Handy. East Coaster paid $9.40, 4.20 and 3.40.

The Graeme Hall victory parade continued in the eighth when Gramatic ($5.40) rolled to an authoritative win. Gramatic is a three-year-old daughter of Formatic and was ridden by Orlando Bocachica for trainer Charles Assimakopoulos.
